I just can’t say no to crafting, no matter what state my home is in (And today it happens to be up for sale. Did I mention that?). In fact, it seems to ease the stress. I made these simple skirts this afternoon from two corduroy prints I couldn’t pass up at Joann’s. I used half a yard of fabric for each, using this tutorial as a guide, and then finished the bottom hem. The brown skirt has a zig-zag stitch, and I used the scallop function on my sewing machine for the gray skirt. (That was way easier than I thought it would be.) So in about 2 hours, I made 2 skirts for the little girl that will be perfect for Autumn.
Can you believe it’s September already?

Wow girlie, these are super cute! You really should sell stuff like this on Etsy or something.

Cute, cute, cute. This is nostalgia with a twist - corduroy in the fall made by mom - but with fun new pattern. Lucky Emily.

I am absolutely in love with JoAnn’s cordory this season! I hope you got some extra fabric for yourself! [I got the obnoxious teal with brown and pink owls to make a jumper for myself :-)]

Don’t you love the scallop edge? I’ve been using it for so much lately - napkins, hankies, pillowcase dresses, etc. I was going to make my little one some skirts soon, and now I think I’ll use it on them, too! Very cute skirts. Great job!
